Is a change as good as a rest?

Is a change as good as a rest?

I took a day off from my endeavours to create a better website yesterday.

I probably needed a break, but not quite the one that arrived, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers, right?

Let me explain how this all came about.

I am a terrible snorer. I can remove wallpaper from the walls and drive anyone in earshot crazy. There was a family pow wow, and it was decided that I should be banished to the office. I offered to sleep on the couch in the living room, but this proved impossible, for my six-foot frame didn’t fit, no matter how I tried.

It was agreed that the table in my office would be removed to make way for one of those couches that transform into a double bed. I wasn’t completely happy with this idea, for I use that table a lot. It’s very useful for craft work, fabric cutting, and general office use. It has become a dumping ground for just about everything lately, so maybe we should try to do without it.

The new couch arrived and was unceremoniously dumped in our hallway in a big cardboard box.

This was when the fun began.

We dragged the box into the office and prepared to do battle.

To cut a long, arduous story short, we managed to get it out of the box and get it wedged it in the doorway. After much dragging, swearing, and frustration, we had it face down on the floor, ready to attach the legs. It is a little too long for my tiny office, but I’m sure we will cope.

Right now, the fabric is the only thing it has going for it. A beautiful blue velvet (that shows every mark)

Secretly, I am looking forward to sneaking the odd forty winks on those days when my eyes won’t stay open.

Update on my snoring: They can still hear me, all the way upstairs!
